Is there something better than being Green ?
- As we try to understand the psychology of "true believers" and the awful policies and measures, that don't seem to work when you check them.
What's going on ? Why don't people want to think further ?
Well they have got a simple solution "Green is good".
- It means that you don't have to do any complex thinking. Once something has the label green applied to it you can stop thinking .
Yes it seems they are applying "thought stopping"

except if you can pull yourself out of that trap there is obviously something better than being green i.e stepping back and doing the hard work of of complex thinking ..and sorting out what is testable and what can be predicted .

......... yes BEING RIGHT ..trumps being green.

So today's news on BH that Owen Paterson has come out for abolishing the "Climate Change Act " after spending previous years always voting for it ..is probably due to him finally climbing out of that "thought stopping" trap ..as many of the older public already have .. lets hope the younger ones also see the light.

pity the Guardian, Independent, BBC Eco-Warriors and the like are always pulling them back down into that "green is magic" trap

And that also fits with another simple narrative that avoids cth need for complex thinking : ie "white man's guilt" simply blaming yourself for every problem
